Youtube Video Views culled!

The dreaded day has come! Video views on the 'cutbacks' channel on Youtube have been slashed back to October 2011 figures, from 373,000 to 158,000. How could this happen? Well, channel video views now only counts views from what Youtube term 'active' videos. Naively, in the past, I used to delete videos from the channel, to 'freshen it up'. How wrong was I!

Here's the rather formal message from our friends in Youtube...

The view count shown on your YouTube channel now includes only views from public videos. To include views from private or unlisted videos, change them to 'public'. YouTube Analytics channel view counts will continue to include views from all videos that were public at the time the view occurred even if the videos are now private, unlisted, or deleted.
It still feels like a 'loss' of 215,000 honestly earned video views. Wow, these internet video platforms sure have a way of demoralising content producers and creatives... Don't they know how paranoid, tired and vulnerable we are? I don't take these issues to heart...

Fianna Fail Lead Polls

Jazis! The IPSOS MRBI poll was no flash in the pan! Now a Millward Brown poll puts Fianna Fail in the lead, two points ahead of Fine Gael! No Prom note bounce for the government - we still hate their guts. Where will this end? Ming for Taoiseach!

Ming Supports Cutbacks!

Ming Flanagan tweets a link to my 'Ming Corrupt Gardai and Clare Daly Drink Driving' video. Jazis! I'm finally making an impression here? Well spotted avid 'cutbacks' fan killbotone.

Pope Resigns - Shock Continues

The shock continues in the wake of the Pope's surprise resignation. Who'll be the next Pope? Someone from South America? A liberal moderniser? A woman?

Clare Daly, Mick and Ming - Penalty Points

Just a reminder why Clare Daly might have been fitted up by the gardai on drink driving charges in the first place. Way back from 21st December 2012, Ming, Mick and Clare investigate penalty points...

Clare Daly Innocent!

Clare Daly, cleared of all drink driving charges, now wonders why the gardai handcuffed her, locked her in a cell, tweeted their friends and called all the newspapers... 'standard procedure' they assured her... Here are Ming, Clare and Vincent...

Ireland's Miracle Bank Debt Deal!

Enda Kenny's Irish government can do no wrong - forget no government apologies for the Magdalene Laundry scandal, forget hospital closures, patients on trolleys, the closure of rural garda stations, Fine Gael cronyism within the cabinet and a raft of new taxes on all citizens (but especially on the poor). Enda's riding high (on our backs). He's secured his deal on Anglo promissiory notes and is now in Brussels, fixing the European Union's budget!

Next stop, a General Election - time to ditch those pesky Labour parasites!
